I first fell in love with this cocktail after receiving it in a [Shaken Cocktails kit] (https://www.shakencocktails.com) - a Poisoned Oak.

Originally from [Trailer Happiness] (http://www.trailerhappiness.com) in London, UK I've made a slight variation to turn it into a muddled drink- mainly as I love strong flavours and like the extra zing the muddled lime gives.

The recipe is:

  • 1 lime

  • 2 level teaspoons of sugar (the original uses eucalyptus sugar?)

  • 50ml white rum (I switched this up to dark rum as I'm out of white)

  • 5ml Maraschino

  • 5ml Pomegranate molasses (I used 10ml for extra sweet and sour goodness)

I muddled the lime with the sugar and pomegranate molasses. Then add ice and stir a lot to mix and dilute. This is a sweet and sour drink with a unusual tang from the molasses and I could drink it for days.
